Hemp Seed Oil- Acne’s New Best Friend
What makes hemp seed oil so awesome? It has a comedogenic rating of zero, meaning that it has zero chance of breaking you out or clogging your pores. It’s totally A-Okay to use on acne prone skin and will actually help your skin balance its sebum (oil) production.Internal Use of Hemp Seed Oil for Acne
Another cool thing about hemp seed oil is that it contains about 60% linoleic acid, a special nutrient that helps regulate sebum production as well as its quality. Sebum is supposed to lubricate the skin without clogging pores, but when our diets lack enough linoleic acid it can become sticky and easily hardens in the pores. This hardened sebum then becomes a blackhead, whitehead, or acne lesion.
Consuming a high quality hemp seed oil will help increase your levels of linoleic acid which will improve the quality and amount of oil your skin produces. Pretty soon, you’ll have oil that will be less likely to clog your pores! I like to take about 1-2 TB a day; more than enough to meet your daily value for essential fatty acids. Taking it every day is safe and beneficial for healthy skin.
Which Hemp Oil is Best?
• High quality, unrefined, cold pressed hemp oil will be a gorgeous green color with a pleasantly nutty flavor. It is easy to substitute it in salad dressing recipes. I even like adding it to smoothies.
• Refined hemp seed oil will be clear and devoid of nutrients so be sure to check the label.

As an added benefit, hemp seed oil also happens to be one of the best moisturizers out there because it is able to penetrate skin cells and lubricate them. Since it doesn’t clog your pores, it is safe to use daily and will keep your skin radiant and silky smooth.
